Payflow Pro allows the use of reference transactions (ORIGID = a previous PayPal transaction ID) for sale and capture transactions to avoid storing credit card information in our own database. A reference transaction takes the existing credit card information that is stored by PayPal and uses it in the current transaction.
A previous transaction (such as an authorization, credit, delayed capture or sale) can be used as a reference in a new sale or authorization transaction.
Is this possible to use this in the current release, or must the credit card number itself be retained?

Re: Payflow Pro reference transactions
Currently the reference transaction id (ORIGID) is used for capturing of a previously authorized transaction and refunding of a transaction previously captured transaction. But what you are asking for i.e; initiating a new 'authorization' or 'sale' based on a reference transaction is not supported.
